10 most interesting and best things in Istanbul

Naturally the history is by far the best thing in Istanbul, and you can read basic information about it from the post “Seven hills cities”. Here I’ll introduce the important things that touches me at the moment of writing. Of course, it would be easy to list at least the 100 best things in Istanbul, and in the future you’ll get to know many of them through my posts. Even in addition to these, Istanbul always manages to surprise you; for example, have you ever, on the basis of a shop window, thought of going to a luxury cosmetics store that turned out to be a luxury butcher shop?

Both cities, Istanbul and Turku, are my loved ones. Maybe it has something to do with the fact I have heard Turku being called “Finland’s Istanbul”. It may surprise you, but there are actually many similarities between these cities. In this post I compare these cities in a positive spirit with pictures. You’ll also get some basic information about both cities and their history.
